Anthony Joshua Eyes Third Heavyweight Title as Usyk Vacates IBF Belt
British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua is poised to become a three-time heavyweight champion after Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk vacated his IBF heavyweight title.
Usyk, who recently defeated Tyson Fury to become the undisputed champion, confirmed he will not be defending the IBF belt in his rematch with Fury scheduled for December 21.
Usyk took to social media to announce his decision, stating, “Anthony and Daniel, listen, I know the IBF title is important to you. It’s my present to you on September 21.”
This move paves the way for Joshua to fight fellow Brit Daniel Dubois for the vacant title at Wembley Stadium on September 21.
Joshua, who first won a world title in 2016, held the championship for three years before a shocking defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr.
He reclaimed his titles six months later but was then bested by Usyk in 2021 and lost the rematch the following year. Now, with the IBF title up for grabs, Joshua has a prime opportunity to add another chapter to his storied career.
Manchester United Legend, Wayne Rooney criticizes Chelsea’s team captain, Reece James.
The criticism comes after the team’s recent defeat to Arsenal on the Premier League clash on Sunday. The Man U legend shares that James struggled throughout the game and was constantly focused on Declan Rice.
“I just felt that Reece James had a job to do today, and he was man-marking Declan Rice—which, coming back from injury, is very difficult to do.”
“I felt he struggled all game. He’s trying to play the role the manager has given him, but I think he found it tough.”
“But as play progresses, Reece James is always thinking about Declan Rice—there’s no other thought in his head.”

Manishumwe describes his return as an honor, sharing that he felt grateful to be called on. “It was an honour for me when I was contacted by the coach to play for the national team again.”
“I know I have the responsibility to repay the faith that the coach has put in me.”
Sergio Ramos saw red in the closing moments of Monterrey’s 3-1 win over Pumas UNAM on Sunday, marking his first red card since joining Liga MX.
Ramos, known for his tough playing style, was involved in several heated clashes throughout the match. In the 92nd minute, he tackled Guillermo Martínez and then kicked him as the ball went out of play, leading to his dismissal.
This marks the 30th red card of Ramos’ career. He was sent off 26 times with Madrid, twice with Paris Saint-Germain, and once with Sevilla. Surprisingly, he’s never been shown a red card while playing for Spain.
Despite the setback, Ramos has had a strong start at Monterrey, scoring three goals in four games since joining last month.
